I heard it is a unlock, meaning you have to complete so much of the game to access it. That may have changed as that was ages ago.
And pre-order cancel, watched a video of it in france (still beta, but late beta by the date of things), and it took over 2 minutes from pressing play before the actually got past the loading screens and were driving. This was on the nurburgring so a long course but two minutes, had enough of this 'advanced technology and amazing graphics' making me feel like I'm still using a spectrum loader. Will buy it if when it is actually realised the load times are reasonable

Been a long time since i saw a decent F1 game I wonder how this one will pan out. Hope it more exciting than the real thing.

I'll be camping at Spa at the end of the month for the GP there. I'm hoping for a good race!

You mean the faked one with the video slowed down?

They saw you coming ;D
Still gonna wait until it's actually out, if Sony really took issue with this load time it would have been worded far stronger than:
There would actually be load times, like saying on 20 ps3's we tested this on the longest time was 42 seconds (still too long IMHO).
Given my limited play time now when I can fire up a console I want to actually play, not stare at load screens, 1 minute you think is fine, I'd also assume as with previous GT's if you want to restart after a stonking crash you wait another minute, then you finish the race but want another go as you only came 3rd that's another minute. Load times on GT since GT2 have been sluggish, and for the sake of bascially just wanting to race on the Top Gear track I'm happy to skip GT until it's out

42 seconds... for a 14+ mile track
Not bad going around 1200mph. That'll do me.
Not to mention you've just added 50% onto the time there with your 1 minute estimation, it's closer to 30... but I note you didn't use that.
You've never had to wait for the track to reload, you must be thinking of another game.
But hey, no loss. Enjoy not buying the game of the decade... just depends which decade atm.

Nice way to take a figure I pick at random which I said Sony might have said and use it as fact 
I think the actual time is 52 seconds from pressing play to seeing the cars driving around though, quite a few places have sped it up to real speed and confirmed that time
And you are right about the reload bits, that's my poor memory and hatred of loading times for you, though it does make me ponder what driving game I'm thinking of
We can agree to disagree though, enjoying Demonssssssss Souls enough and progressing slowly enough that I'm not in a rush, once I finish that anyway I've for Red Dead to get back into
